Map of the Heart Black Heart V.2 90ml

It's smoky heart of mysterious spices is shot through with shards of fresh eucalyptus and citrus to create an impolite mix of opposites. A smoky wood accord underlines the contrast of dark and light with Australian sandalwood bringing a rich and deep signature.

For the bold and the brave. Inspired by the beauty and terror of Australian bush fires that are both destructive and regenerative. It is the moment the flames subside and the blackened tree trunks remain smouldering in a snow of white ash - the piercing sunlight slicing through.

TOP: Bergamot, Brazilian Orange, Eucalyptus

HEART: Cardamon, Black Pepper, Cinnamon

BASE: Smoky Wood Accords, Australian Sandalwood

Everything comes from the heart. It is our essence.

OUR HEART IS EVERYTHING PURE, GOOD AND EVIL. IT ACHES, IT DESIRES, IT IS WHO WE ARE. IN MAPPING OUR HEART WE ARE BOTH EXPLORERS AND TOURISTS, AT THE FRONTIERS AND THE CENTRE, NAVIGATING THE UNKNOWN AND THE ALL TOO FAMILIAR. WE CAN TREAD PATHS TRAVELLED AND NOT. IF IT TOUCHES US, MAKES US ACHE, CHALLENGES AND EXPLORES WHAT IT IS TO LIVE, THEN IT IS FOR MAP OF THE HEART.
